There is a new Ares handlebar and frame which will be available in August. Both are called S-Kill and they say the handlebars are based on the SuperB bars. The frame looks like a classic street frame but has a 19" top tube so it's still quite flatland compatible. Some details:

S-Kill Bar
- 8.75″ rise, 9° backsweep, 2° upsweet, weight 705g / 1.55lbs

S-Kill Frame
- 19" TT, 75° HA, 72° SA, weight unknown

This is how KHE sees Flatland in the future: "We like to present you our KHEbikes Flatland PRO Killer-Kit for 2012". It's looks pretty good even tho we are not so entirely sure about that seat. But at least Alex would probably agree.. what do you think?

Frame: KHEbikes A-Damn PRO
Fork: KHEbikes Addict
Handlebar: KHEbikes A-Blast
Seat: KHEbikes Exhib
Stem: KHEbikes Minimalism V2 (proto type - available next year)

Vertigo Films is looking for flatlanders for their new feature film 'All Stars'. The feature is set in an urban part of London and focusses on a group of kids from all different backgrounds who come together to try and save their 'space' - a space where all kinds of things happen, including BMX. They are looking for the following:

1. A couple of adult (16+) Flatland riders who will see pulling tricks in a single but really important / large scale scene.

2. Three younger riders between 10 and 15 who are quite featured and would need to do some fairly impressive flatland tricks.

The filming will start in 3 weeks for 6 weeks and will be in and around London for pretty much the whole shoot: "We are likely to film the older boys on Sunday 10th June for one day and the youngers ones for a couple of days later on in the shoot."

There was a indoor contest in the Prague downtown friday night. The event took place in a church which is now used as a dance club. Only 12 riders from the Czech Republic and Slovakia were invited and were fighting for the prize money and gifts from the sponsors. The crowd was crazy and the riders were killing it!

Our friend Esteban Palencia is asking for a little support. His video is one of the five finalist videos selected in an online contest of Mountain Dew in Colombia. The challenge is to get a lot of votes on Facebook until May 15. The winner will be invited to the Dew Tour in the USA. 

Esteban even put a little guide on his website on how to vote.

Vote! Vote! Vote! 

There was a big discussion in our forum about flatland events in the UK which inspired us to interview Jason. To us he seems like one of the guys who is pushing flatland in the right direction. Recently Jason started a clothing brand called One Wheel Motion (1WM), he wants to organize an indoor spot and he's pretty busy blogging: onewheelmotion blog.

Check out his interview: Jason Forde - 1WM
